The system 100 of fig. 1 may be configured and operated in various ways to enable application of the various methods and apparatus described in accordance with the present disclosure.
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method of voice alert for an autonomous vehicle is provided. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes: step S201, determining a position relation between the automatic driving vehicle and a target area, wherein the automatic driving path of the automatic driving vehicle indicates that the automatic driving vehicle drives into the target area and stops temporarily, and then drives out of the target area; step S202, in response to determining that the autonomous driving vehicle is located in the target area, determining whether to perform voice reminding outside the vehicle based on environment information of the target area, wherein the environment information indicates at least one of the category and the position of an object in the target area; and step S203, responding to the determination of the voice prompt outside the automobile, and playing first voice prompt content to the outside of the automatic driving vehicle.
Therefore, whether the automatic driving vehicle is in the temporary parking area or not is automatically judged, whether the voice reminding is required to be carried out outside the vehicle is judged according to the environment information outside the vehicle, and the safety and the efficiency of the automatic driving vehicle in the complex scene of temporary parking can be improved.
According to some embodiments, the autonomous vehicle may be an operation class vehicle, which may include, for example, an autonomous bus and an autonomous taxi. Accordingly, the target area may be, for example, a bus stop or a taxi stop. The present disclosure will be described using an autonomous bus and bus station as examples, but is not intended to be limiting. It is to be understood that the present disclosure may be applied to any autonomous vehicle and target area for temporary parking of the autonomous vehicle, and is not limited thereto.
The target area may be, for example, completely matched with an actual bus stop area or a taxi stop point, may be correspondingly enlarged or reduced, or may be determined according to other rules, which is not limited herein.
According to some embodiments, the step S201 of determining the positional relationship between the autonomous vehicle and the target area may include: the position relationship between the autonomous vehicle and the target area is determined based on the positioning information of the autonomous vehicle, the high-precision map information, and the autonomous driving path. Therefore, the automatic driving vehicle can accurately judge the position relation between the vehicle and the target area based on the positioning information and the high-precision map information of the automatic driving vehicle and the automatic driving path planned by the automatic driving system, and further judge whether to carry out voice reminding when the vehicle and the target area meet a specific relation, so that the voice reminding can be carried out at a more proper and accurate time.
In response to determining that the autonomous vehicle is located within the target area, it is determined whether to perform an off-vehicle voice alert based on environmental information of the target area at step S202.
The environmental information may be acquired by a sensor of the autonomous vehicle for sensing the external environment and road surface information, for example. The environmental information may include the category and location of objects within the target area, such as the location of pedestrians, vehicles, obstacles, etc. within the target area. The environmental information may also include other information about the objects, such as direction of motion, speed, etc., for determining whether the objects are moving within or outside of an autonomous driving path to the autonomous vehicle, and is not limited herein.
According to some embodiments, the step S202, in response to determining that the autonomous vehicle is located within the target area, determining whether to perform the off-board voice alert based on the environmental information of the target area may include: determining to conduct an off-board voice alert in response to determining that a pedestrian is included within a first target range around an autonomous driving path in front of an autonomous vehicle within a target area. The first voice reminder content can include voice reminder content for a pedestrian. From this, through broadcast when detecting near the autopilot route in vehicle the place ahead and reminding the content to pedestrian's pronunciation, can dispel in advance the pedestrian in the platform to improve the safety and the efficiency of autopilot bus operation.
The first target range may be static, such as a region having a preset length and a preset width along the autonomous driving path in front of the vehicle, or dynamic, such as the size of the first target range may be adjusted according to the speed of the autonomous driving vehicle. In one example, the magnitude of the first target range may have a positive correlation with the vehicle speed of the autonomous vehicle.
It is understood that the position, shape and size of the first target range can be designed by those skilled in the art according to the requirement, and are not limited herein.
In one example, the voice alert content for a pedestrian may be, for example: "vehicle enters station, please wait at the station safety position". The voice reminding can be performed when the pedestrian is detected in the first target range every time, and the minimum reminding interval and the maximum reminding times can also be set.
According to some embodiments, the step S202, in response to determining that the autonomous vehicle is located within the target area, determining whether to perform the off-board voice alert based on the environmental information of the target area may include: determining to conduct an off-board voice alert in response to determining that a vehicle of a different category than the autonomous vehicle is included within a second target range around the autonomous path in front of the autonomous vehicle within the target area. The first voice reminder content can include voice reminder content for the vehicle. Therefore, when other types of vehicles (such as motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles except buses) are detected near the automatic driving path in front of the vehicle, voice reminding contents for the vehicles are played, the vehicles in the platform can be dispersed in advance, and the safety and efficiency of automatic bus driving operation are improved.
According to some embodiments, the categories of vehicles may be classified, for example, by function, as private cars, buses, taxis, vans, and so forth. Given that the target area is typically a temporary stopping area dedicated to that type of vehicle (e.g., a bus stop, a taxi stop, etc.), other vehicles should not drive into that area and thus may be alerted audibly when they are detected as interfering with the autonomous vehicle.
Similarly, the second target range may be static, such as a region in front of the vehicle having a preset length and a preset width along the autonomous driving path, or dynamic, such as the size of the first target range may be adjusted according to the speed of the autonomous vehicle. In one example, the magnitude of the second target range may have a positive correlation with the vehicle speed of the autonomous vehicle. The size of the first target range and the size of the second target range may be the same or different, and are not limited herein. In one example, the first target range may be greater than the second target range, considering that the unpredictability of pedestrian behavior is typically greater than the vehicle, and that the speed of pedestrians is typically slower than the vehicle.
It is understood that the position, shape and size of the second target range can be designed by those skilled in the art according to the requirement, and are not limited herein.
In one example, the voice alert content for the vehicle may be, for example: "vehicle enters station, please note avoid". The voice reminding can be performed when the vehicle is detected in the second target range every time, and the minimum reminding interval and the maximum reminding times can also be set.
According to some embodiments, the step S202, in response to determining that the autonomous vehicle is located within the target area, determining whether to perform the off-board voice alert based on the environmental information of the target area may include: determining to conduct an off-board voice alert in response to determining that a pedestrian is included within a first target range around an autonomous driving path in front of the autonomous vehicle within the target area and a vehicle of a different category than the autonomous vehicle is included within a second target range around the autonomous driving path in front of the autonomous vehicle. The first voice reminder content can include voice reminder content for pedestrians and voice reminder content for vehicles, and the voice reminder for pedestrians can be preferentially played. Therefore, the two voice reminding contents are broadcast alternately when the pedestrian and the vehicle are detected simultaneously, and the pedestrian and the vehicle can be reminded of giving way for the automatic driving vehicle at the same time. And the safety of automatic driving can be further improved by preferentially broadcasting the voice reminding content for the pedestrians.
According to some embodiments, the step S202, in response to determining that the autonomous vehicle is located within the target area, determining whether to perform the off-board voice alert based on the environmental information of the target area may include: determining not to perform the off-board voice alert in response to determining that a vehicle of the same category as the autonomous vehicle is included within a second target range around the autonomous path in front of the autonomous vehicle within the target area. Vehicles of the same category as the autonomous vehicles are vehicles in which the target area should appear, and therefore voice warning may not be performed when these vehicles are detected.
According to some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the voice reminding method may further include: step S304, in response to determining that the autonomous vehicle is located within the target area and that the autonomous task of the autonomous vehicle cannot continue to be performed, playing a second voice prompt to a safer of the autonomous vehicle. The second voice prompt prompts the security officer to take over the automatic driving vehicle. Therefore, voice reminding can be carried out on the safety personnel when the automatic driving task cannot be continuously executed by detecting the complex scene of temporary stopping, manual taking-over reminding can be directly and efficiently carried out on the safety personnel, and the safety of the automatic driving vehicle in the complex scene of temporary stopping is improved.
Other ways of alerting security personnel may also be used according to some embodiments. In one example, a manual takeover reminder may be displayed, for example, on an automated driving human machine interaction terminal. It is understood that other ways may be used by those skilled in the art to alert a security officer, and are not limited herein.
In some embodiments, a voice alert may also be provided off-board the autonomous vehicle upon detecting the autonomous vehicle entering a target area, exiting the target area, or being located at another particular location. In one example, a voice prompt of "approaching, please note to avoid" may be played 50 meters before the autonomous vehicle enters the station. In another example, a "vehicle is out, please note safety" voice prompt may be played when the autonomous vehicle is ready to be out.
According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a voice alert device is provided. As shown in fig. 4, the voice reminding apparatus 400 includes: a first determination unit 410 configured to determine a positional relationship between the autonomous vehicle and the target area, wherein an autonomous driving path of the autonomous vehicle indicates that the autonomous vehicle enters the target area and is temporarily parked, and then exits the target area; a second determination unit 420 configured to determine whether to perform an off-vehicle voice alert based on environmental information of the target area, the environmental information indicating at least one of a category and a position of an object within the target area, in response to determining that the autonomous vehicle is located within the target area; and a first playing unit 430 configured to play the first voice prompt content to the outside of the autonomous vehicle in response to determining to perform the outside voice prompt. The operation of the units 410-430 in the apparatus 400 is similar to the operation of the steps S201-S203 in fig. 2, and is not described herein again.
According to some embodiments, determining whether to perform the off-board voice reminder based on the environmental information of the target area may include: determining to conduct an off-board voice alert in response to determining that a pedestrian is included within a first target range around an autonomous driving path in front of an autonomous vehicle within a target area. The first voice reminder content can include voice reminder content for a pedestrian.
According to some embodiments, determining whether to perform the off-board voice reminder based on the environmental information of the target area may include: determining to conduct an off-board voice alert in response to determining that a vehicle of a different category than the autonomous vehicle is included within a second target range around the autonomous path in front of the autonomous vehicle within the target area. The first voice reminder content can include voice reminder content for the vehicle.
According to some embodiments, determining whether to perform the off-board voice reminder based on the environmental information of the target area may include: determining to conduct an off-board voice alert in response to determining that a pedestrian is included within a first target range around an autonomous driving path in front of the autonomous vehicle within the target area and a vehicle of a different category than the autonomous vehicle is included within a second target range around the autonomous driving path in front of the autonomous vehicle. The first voice alert content may include voice alert content for pedestrians and voice alert content for vehicles, and wherein the voice alert content for pedestrians is preferentially played.
According to some embodiments, determining whether to perform the off-board voice reminder based on the environmental information of the target area may include: determining not to perform the off-board voice alert in response to determining that a vehicle of the same category as the autonomous vehicle is included within a second target range around the autonomous path in front of the autonomous vehicle within the target area.
According to some embodiments, determining a positional relationship between the autonomous vehicle and the target area may include: the position relationship between the autonomous vehicle and the target area is determined based on the positioning information of the autonomous vehicle, the high-precision map information, and the autonomous driving path.
According to some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the apparatus 500 further comprises: a second playing unit 540 configured to play a second voice prompt content to a security officer of the autonomous vehicle, the second voice prompt content prompting the security officer to take over the autonomous vehicle, in response to determining that the autonomous vehicle is located within the target area and in response to detecting that the autonomous task of the autonomous vehicle cannot be continuously performed. The operations of the units 510 and 530 in the device 500 are similar to the operations of the units 410 and 430 in the device 400, and are not described herein again.
